Battery facts

Capacity 5000 mAh
How this was calculated
  • Battery life is never scored from raw mAh alone - mixed-use uses usable Wh and calendar average power (smartphones ~1-2 days; basic phones can last several days).
  • Usage modes (standby, calls, video, gaming, etc.) show measured catalog values when available; otherwise Product Lab estimates.
  • Scenario hours are continuous-use estimates for that activity; mixed daily use is calendar endurance.

Display Quality

Confidence: medium
Score 31/100
Panel IPS LCD
Size 6.5"
Resolution 720 x 1600 pixels
Display capability index 31/100
How this was calculated
  • Display score uses panel tech, refresh curve, brightness, density, and HDR â€" not refresh alone.

Sustained Performance & Thermals

Confidence: medium
Score 71/100
Sustained 54/100

Peak = short bursts of speed. Sustained = speed that lasts when the phone heats up.

CPU

specification medium

Peak silicon index (catalog model)

71/100
estimated medium

How strong the chip looks for everyday apps, multitasking, and games - from catalog silicon tier, not a lab stress test.

Sustained thermal index (catalog model)

54/100
estimated medium

How well performance holds when the phone gets warm during longer sessions.

How this was calculated
  • Peak and sustained remain separate; sustained uses thermal retention by silicon tier when lab throttling data is absent.

Camera Quality

Confidence: medium
Score 79/100

Think of this as overall photo/video usefulness - megapixels alone do not make a great camera.

Overall camera score 79/100
  • Rear camera setup 50 MP + 2 MP + 2 MP

    All rear lenses listed in the catalog.

  • Main lens 50 MP

    Primary rear camera resolution (MP is only one quality factor).

  • Secondary rear lens 2 MP
  • Third rear lens 2 MP
  • Rear lens count 3 cameras
  • Front / selfie camera 8 MP
  • Optical stabilization (OIS) Not indicated in catalog

    OIS helps reduce blur in photos and video when your hands move.

  • Video 3840x2160 @ 30 fps1920x1080 @ 30 fps
How this was calculated
  • Megapixels alone do not dominate â€" architecture, stabilization, and video pipeline are weighted.
  • Estimated capability index used when no verified lab IQ measurement exists.

Software & Security Longevity

Confidence: low

Longer software support means safer apps and newer features for more years - important if you keep phones 3-4 years.

Update runway Not scored yet

No published support end-date in catalog, so we do not invent a longevity score.

OS / UI Android v13

Operating system and skin listed for this phone.

specification
Android generation Android 13

Newer generations usually start with a longer update runway - only brand promises confirm how long.

specification
Brand update promise Not published in catalog

We do not invent OS/security year promises. Ask the brand or wait for official policy.

specification
How this was calculated
  • No generic Android/iOS lifespan assumed.
  • Numeric software score hidden without support end/remaining data.

Durability & Repairability

Confidence: low
Frame

Back: Plastic

How this was calculated
  • No durability score from materials alone without enough evidence.

Connectivity

Connectivity richness index

82/100

How this was calculated
  • Global capability facts only â€" no carrier compatibility claims without data.
  • Richness index counts verified radios/features, not network quality.

Audio Quality

Confidence: low
Speakers Yes
Audio tech 3.5 mm
How this was calculated
  • Hardware features are separate from measured audio quality.

Value for Money

Confidence: medium
Score 44/100
Weak Value
Why this score

Weak Value because it is priced below most direct alternatives, strong in connectivity and camera, weaker in display and battery.

In plain words: cautious value - peers may offer more for a similar price (Weak Value).

Weak Value

What drives this value score

  • Current price 107.09 PKR
  • Configuration Evaluated configuration: 4 GB RAM / 128 GB storage at the current listed price.
  • Relevant peers 6
  • Peer price position Meaningfully below peer median
  • Capability vs peers Comparable to peer capability
  • Premium justification Lower price does not offset weaker capability
  • Long-term support 57/100
  • Major strengths connectivity, camera
  • Major weaknesses display, battery
  • Value verdict Weak Value
  • Confidence Medium
How this was calculated
  • Weak Value because it is priced below most direct alternatives, strong in connectivity and camera, weaker in display and battery.
  • Value is peer-relative capability vs price positioning with premium justification — never Score÷Price.
  • Diminishing returns applied to capability utility so mid-range gains matter more than top-end points.
  • Verified weaknesses reduce value; missing data does not.

3-4 Year Ownership / Long-Term Value

Confidence: low

A simple year-by-year ownership outlook based on battery, software, and durability evidence — not a guaranteed prediction.

Year 1 Mixed

Fresh ownership

Battery is only average - plan charging habits carefully. Runs Android v13 - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.

Year 2 Mixed

Still strong

Battery is only average - plan charging habits carefully. Runs Android v13 - confirm the brand update promise before year 3.

Year 3 Plan ahead

Watch the weak spots

Expect noticeable battery wear for heavy users by year 3. Brand update years are not clearly published - verify before keeping long-term.

Year 4 Plan ahead

Keep-or-replace year

Expect noticeable battery wear for heavy users by year 4. Brand update years are not clearly published - verify before keeping long-term.

Method notes

  • Detail page uses catalog features plus Product Lab multi-factor models (v2).
  • Missing categories are omitted (never shown as 0/100).
  • Charging duration is never fabricated from charger wattage; wattage yields capability only.
  • Value for Money uses peer-relative capability and premium justification â€" never Score÷Price.
  • Estimated indexes are not third-party lab certificates.
